A plumbing inspection gives you a clear picture of what's happening inside your walls, under your floors, and behind your fixtures. At Quan Plumbing and Heating, our technicians work through a structured, hands-on assessment tailored to Metro Vancouver homes, focusing on the systems and materials that matter most to the condition and safety of your plumbing. We're fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and our clients consistently rate us 5 stars across our service areas.

What Our Vancouver Plumbing Inspection Covers
Water Pressure & Supply Lines
We test your water pressure against the typical residential range of 40 to 80 psi. Readings outside that range can signal a supply-side issue or put unnecessary stress on fixtures and appliances. We also assess pipe material during this step. Vancouver homes built between 1978 and 1995 commonly contain Poly-B (polybutylene) piping, which degrades from chlorine exposure in municipal water and can affect insurance eligibility and resale value.
Fixtures, Faucets & Shut-Off Valves
Every accessible fixture and faucet is tested for proper operation, and we evaluate shut-off valves throughout the home. A failed shut-off valve can't isolate a burst pipe or running toilet, which means more water damage and a slower emergency response. Professional leak detection can also reveal hidden water loss behind walls or ceilings that isn't visible during everyday use.
Drains, Venting & Water Heater
Drainage flow is checked at each fixture for signs of partial blockage or slow drainage. Where vent pipes are accessible, we look for issues that can cause slow drains or allow sewer gas into living spaces. Your water heater is reviewed for age, condition, and performance. Our technicians work across brands including Rheem, Bradford White, John Wood, Navien, Rinnai, and others, covering both conventional tank and tankless systems.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Plumbing inspections aren't only for emergencies. Many Vancouver homeowners book an inspection before purchasing a home, especially when general inspection conditions have been waived in a competitive market. A dedicated plumbing assessment can catch costly issues like Poly-B piping or an aging water heater before they become your problem on possession day.
Other common triggers include recurring clogs or pressure drops that point to an underlying issue, pre-renovation planning for a kitchen or bathroom remodel, and aging systems in homes built before the mid-1990s. We also offer preventive maintenance packages with regular inspections, pressure checks, leak detection, and system tune-ups, so you can stay ahead of problems instead of reacting to them.
